The waiting game



It knows that as soon as it gives in to the fall, 
the winds of winter will begin breathing down our necks.

I'm cheering it on to hang up there just a bit longer.

I can wait for the snow, but last year i remember missing it when it was over.

Winter session is very great. I waiting for snow fall in every winter session to play ice hockey. It is really great time for me to get successes.

Summer is just ending down here.

I'm loving it right now, I'm in denial of what's about to come our way and am turning a blind eye to our upcoming season. I'm like the last leaf hanging on the tree in your photo, I refuse to give in!

:-)

Enjoy your week Dawn!

I apologize for not visiting my favorite blogs lately, and i promise to do some catching-up with everyone in the next few days. We are experiencing cooler weather starting today (Thursday) and as for myself I'm looking forward to falls return to the Lancaster Pennsylvania area. And are the color of the leaves changing your your way folks as they are mine. Hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoy the beautiful fall season that has now begun. Richard from Amish Stories.

I have a computer again and I'm catching up with everyone. That photo and your musings were a treat.

Betty Manousos said...

breathtaking!

such great composition~

Pat Tillett said...

A REALLY nice photo! Those words are exactly the reason why, I love where I live. There really is no drastic change of seasons. Of course, the trade off is that we miss a lot of the beauty the change brings with it.
